A man has been arrested after a woman was allegedly sexually assaulted at a cemetery in Hammersmith .

Police were called to Margravine Cemetery, opposite Charing Cross Hospital , on Saturday (June 4) at around 7.50am to reports of a man attacking a woman.

Officers arrested a man in his 30s at the burial ground in Margravine Road, also known as Hammersmith Cemetery, on suspicion of sexual assault.

Police said he remained in custody at a west London police station and enquiries were ongoing.

The woman, who is in her 30s, did not require hospital treatment.

Margravine Cemetery is no longer used for burials, having been made a 'Garden of Rest' in 1951. Many of the memorials and tombstones were removed or buried to create more open space at the time, though a number remain.
